When you guys work up a load, do you use the smallest tightest group for your best load or do you take the average size of say 4 groups eliminating the smallest and largest group ?
Say you shoot 4 groups with 4 different powder amounts, everything else being the same and 1 = 1/4th", 1 = 1/2", 1 = 3/8th", and the last is 3/4th". Which load would you use for your best load ? If you use the 3/8th" load can you shoot 3/8th regularly all the time ? Or would you use the 1/2" load figuring you can shoot a 1/2" group all the time ?
